Q-13: Warrior Tunes

[meta187]

 

"Musashi describes and advocates a two-sword style (nitōjutsu): that is, wielding both katana and wakizashi, contrary to the more traditional method of wielding the katana two-handed. However, he only explicitly describes wielding two swords in a section on fighting against many adversaries. The stories of his many duels rarely refer to Musashi himself wielding two swords, although, since they are mostly oral traditions, their details may be inaccurate. Some suggest that Musashi's meaning was not so much wielding two swords "simultaneously", but rather acquiring the proficiency to (singly) wield either sword in either hand as the need arose. However, Musashi states within the volume that one should train with a long sword in each hand, thereby training the body and improving one's ability to use two blades simultaneously.".

We've spent the last several years listening to music that established a good and relaxing vibe within our everyday lives and in turn given every one full freedom to share whatever style of music sincerely elicits a feeling of tranquility, or just plain gathered to enjoy a compelling groove.

 

However, there is merit in yet another facet we derive from music's undeniable effect on our senses, which is the will to fight. To punch an iron fist of unwavering flesh through the chest of our adversarial challenger, not to retreat over its shoulder and languish with it behind us unresolved.

 

Perhaps societal misunderstandings and tired assumptions about your character or just a good ol' innate lack of self-worth have painted you into a corner. Maybe you simply need the fuel of an unwavering rhythm to kick your sorry ass into gear, struggling through the last 5 minutes of your set or run at the gym.

 

Pick up your sword, put on your Kevlar, f*ck that truce - load up the clip. What melodic dirge or battle tune causes you to clench your knuckles, grit your teeth, pressing you to step with lively purpose, granting you motion and grace against the mere mention of retreat? What war drums cause your blood to boil as you vividly envision all of your life-long phantoms falling before you?

 

The renowned Shogun of this province is offering a giant keg of premium concubine sweat (ew) for the bloated head of that low-down, double-dealing, dirty motherf*cker known as the "Status Quo". Are we truly men of honor or are we complacent slaves to the petty conveniences snaring us securely to our auto-corrected lives?

 

Rise to the occasion and storm the courtyard of the fortress gates. Use your favored thumb to unlatch the hilt of your blade and spray a glorious crimson arc of arterial artwork onto the fallen cherry blossoms and the lily-white party dresses of the bitch-ass naysayers in your midst. Get hip to the not so subjective notion that carefully curated pessimism and predisposed disbelief simply expedite us to a sh*tty state that confirms you're life is en route to failure because you simply gave all that nagging doubt oxygen to breathe instead of choking the very last breath out of it and calling it a day as the stoic path demands...

 

How about you come off that weak-sh!t and stop being a pussy.

 

 

Challengers of great skill and quality may enter the arena.

All Fighting Styles Welcome.
